Romanian coach Eugen Neago, who was a member of the coaching staff of the Romanian national team under Victor Pitsurke (2011 - 2014), spoke about the strengths and weaknesses of the Ukrainian national team, with a match against which the "tricolors" will start at Euro 2024 next Monday.
Eugen Neago"I think that the Romanian national team is close to the Ukrainian national team in its level and therefore we can play a very good game with it and can count on a good result. I believe that such a result will be even a draw for us. It is important not to lose. If we do not lose to Ukraine, the players of our national team will get a completely different level of confidence in their abilities. But I am sure that the team will be determined to win on Monday.
As for our opponent, the Ukraine national team has technical players both in the middle line and in attack who can destabilize any team. I also saw spectacular, but at the same time effective combinations of Ukrainians in the friendly match with Moldova. When you have such quality players, soccer seems very simple.
However, there is a vulnerability in the Ukraine national team's game. It has problems with its central defenders, I saw them unreliable. When they lose the ball, the Ukrainian national team defense immediately has problems," - quotes Neago ProSport.
